Actualy, you'd be amazed on how much the college depends on donations. I've been talking with the faculty. They wouldn't be able to do it without a bit of help. Sure, it doesn't seem to be a lot of money, but the long term costs of operating it is quite a bit, and this is what they must deal with. In my opinion every little bit we can help out with is a small price to pay to educate our future. Besides, I don't have to jump through any hoops if we simply donate. Its done, its clean and you feel good for helping out a college
and they feel good for having something cool for the marine biology department.
Anyways, as for a list;
What I have for them so far:
-20 Gal tank
-55w PC lighting Ballast (no bulb)
-enough LR to fill the tank
-a few softies
-some cheateo
What is still needed:
-A heater (probably no more than a 150w) something for a 20gal
-A power head or two. Old maxi jet 600 or 900 Something good for a 20gal softy tank
-Some substrate. A nice mixture like Canadawest has offered is perfect.
-Maybe some more softies, leathers, Xenia etc 1x specimen is probably more than enough.
I'll PM those that have offered and update the list.
Thanks to those who have expressed interest.
